I’ve been making jewelry lately, both in the hope of having jewelry to wear and in the hope of setting up an Etsy (or some other sort) of shop. I think I’m getting pretty close to having enough, I just need to find a way to photograph it all that I’m happy with. And I…

The Classless Fashion Guide to Eye Patches
Having a swollen, watery eye can make you look like a rat plague victim… but, never fear, putting on an eye patch can quickly make you the coolest girl in the bar. Eye patches can relieve strain on compromised eyes, can keep people from avoiding you in case what you have is contagious, and…
Street Style from Gorilla vs. Bear II at Granada Theater, Dallas (TIMEWARP!)
I took these with the intent to post at the time, but I guess I wimped out and felt self conscious about posting my street style shots. As I look back at them now, I know they deserve to be posted. There might be a little out of focus-ness, but I think they still have journalistic value….
JCPenney Fangirlism and What I Bought on Clearance
I would just like to go on the record and say that I love the new JC Penney format. I’ve heard that it hasn’t been too well received and I’ve also heard people complain that they want the old “frumpy” JCP back… but personally, I’m a big fan of the new “boutique” style. Some of the…
Places Names and Clothes: To the Store, for Cupcake Supplies
I keep coming back to this style concept in my mind, “pin-up grunge”. It is supposed to, ideally, be a cross between fabrics Kurt Cobain would wear with shapes that Dita Von Teese would wear. I don’t think I’ve really pulled it off yet, but I have been trying to keep the idea of a…
What They Wear on a Cold Day in Dallas
I wanted to try out my new camera in different situations today, so I drove down into Dallas. I was hoping to catch some in congruent shots of snow on the familiar landmarks that are usually bathed in sun.. but most of the snow had already been cleared away from roads and walkways. Instead I got a…
And Then One Day I Shaved Part of my Head…
Yesterday I got the side of my head shaved. I felt like I’d gotten a little stale in my hair style choices, and color wasn’t giving me a rush anymore.. so I cut some off. I hate to be the kind of person who puts a lot of symbolic value into hair, but I…
Will You Take Me Home? Deals That Weren’t Meant for Me – Black No. 1 at JCP Clearance.
Sometimes when I’m shopping, I see something that is an awesome deal, but its not perfect for me. It might be the wrong size, or a cut that isn’t flattering on me, or just not right for my life. I always feel a compulsive desire to help these lonely items find their perfect homes.. but I’m not…
PC Builds and Painting Nails
Yesterday, I had the day off and intended to go Christmas shopping and also pretend that I was one of.. those girls that hang out at Northpark drinking Starbucks and you know, affording things. Instead, I spent all day fixing Thom’s new PC which did not work when it was put together the night before….
Travel Makeover – On The Train to Austin, Blue Eyeliner
I’m not really good at doing makeup, but I am good at doing makeup on trains and planes and roadtrips. I think I’m best with limited tools. I’m on Amtrak to Austin to see Beachhouse and The Walkmen at Stubbs. Everything I used: -A kit from Kristen Colaneri’s line that I got forever ago for…
Spycam St. Patty’s – On and Around Greenville, Dallas, TX
I told you I like taking pictures of people who don’t know I’m taking their pictures.
